Why vote for John McCain? Because your only other choice is Obama or Hillary... "Lesser of the three evils" for sure.
And to people complaining that cutting taxes for "rich" is bad. Let me say I am probably a lot poorer (economicly speaking) than most of you, but because I understand the system (somewhat), I know that taxing the rich more and more and more will not help, and it defintly won't help the poor. It's not an "us or them" system. To the argument: "The rich can afford to be taxed more": the rich already are taxed more, a lot more, and a higher %. Even if it were a strict 10% tax on all income, the rich would pay more. What we have is the rich paying high 30%'s on taxes, sometimes even higher. This penalizes hard working, by the time you earn enough to be "getting ahead" you're paying half it away. This also resaults in lower wages, higher prices, and for a lot of businesses, bankrupty. The tax cut won't help me if my employer goes out of business and I lose my job. We are in a recession, and you should never raise taxes during a recession! Unfortunitaly a lot of poor people don't realize these things, and this works to Obama's advantage, as people will blindly go out and vote for him just because "Lower taxes for the poor, higher for the rich!"
To the argument that people will all end up middle class: This will not happen, people will not all end up middle class unless our government turns from a democracy into socalism or something, and hopefully the people will uprise before that happens (I know I would!). What will end up happening before we all turned middle class, is we would all turn lower class, and the lower class (people like me, the poor) would end up ROCK BOTTOM, and I would end up playing GTA4 irl.
Obama, Hillary, and McCain are ship and the ship sinks, who gets saved? AMERICA! Jk jk :P
